Halo 3 MCC Tournaments Announced Through HCS Grassroots

Halo 3 is making its return to the competitive scene through HCS Grassroots, a new program designed to support organizers and creators continue to do what they love.

Time to get the band back together, Halo 3 is making its 4v4 competitive return in 2019, with the first events taking place as a part of HCS Grassroots. The first event, The Halo Classic, hosted by UGC Events will be taking place January 11-13 in St. Louis, Missouri. The second event will be taking place at Gamers for Giving 2019, March 23-24, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The Halo Classic will hold both 4v4 and Free-for-all tournaments, and Gamers for Giving will be hosting a 2v2 event, similar to the event at Dreamhack Atlanta this past weekend.
